Gary Gygax’s The Hermit | Winter’s Bite by Troll Lord Games
  • SYSTEM: Castles & Crusades
  • PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover adventure/softcover adventure
  • RETAIL PRICE: $39.99/$10.99
  • DESCRIPTION: Gary Gygax’s The Hermit is a second printing of the original written in 2002. Eighth through 12th level PCs seek the Sage, Lodash the Lonely, who has vanished right when the King needs him most with the King’s lands on the verge of war. An adventure with twists and turns through overland, urban, and dungeon environments and easily ported to any pre-written or homebrewed setting. Something haunts the river folk in Winter’s Bite, an adventure for three to five third level characters. A monster steals into homes and snatches the unwary or kills it victims. Those whom the horror does not abduct are found slain and strangely maimed, with bloody gums devoid of teeth. Those who have caught a glimpse describe its pock-marked skin and crown of teeth. The river people seal their doors with wax stamped with magical runes in hope of keeping the haunt at bay while they pay the PCs to hunt it down and kill it. If they can.

Is the monster in Winter's Bite actually the tooth fairy?

There's a Big Bad from Hit Point Press that fills a similar role -- it's a surprisingly good villain there, an exile from the Seelie Court who's a weird creepy noble.
